Monoprice 111275 1ft Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable - Red Flexboot

The Monoprice 111275 Flexboot Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable is a 1-foot networking cable designed for short-distance connections where minimal cable slack is important. Built with pure bare copper wire conductors in an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) configuration, it supports up to 550MHz bandwidth — meeting the Cat6 standard for high-speed data transfer including Gigabit Ethernet. The 50-micron gold-plated contacts on each RJ45 connector resist oxidation and maintain a clean electrical connection over repeated plug and unplug cycles.

The distinguishing feature of this cable is its color-matched red Flexboot strain relief boot, which wraps around the base of each connector to prevent the locking clip from catching on adjacent cables or rack edges. This snagless design is particularly useful in dense patching environments such as server racks, network closets, or media setups where cables are frequently handled. At just one foot in length, this cable is best suited for connecting equipment mounted in close proximity — such as linking a patch panel port to a network switch directly above or below it.
